Anode Shape and Utilization Factor
Stand-off anodes shall be used as far as possible with a minimum distance to the steel surface of
300 mm. The insert steel should protrude through the end faces. The utilization factor shall be 0.90.
Flush-mounted anodes except bracelets shall have a utilization factor of 0.90.
Bracelet anodes shall be designed in such a way that a utilization factor of minimum 0.80 can be
achieved.
Bracelet anodes used on steel jackets to reduce wave loads shall be designed in such a way that the
same utilization factor as for stand-off anodes (i.e. 0.90) can be achieved.
